Received my preorder of Lessons in Magic and Disaster, a day in advance of the official pub date, with custom @charliejane.bsky.social cat doodles! Thanks to @greenapplebooks.bsky.social for delivering the magic!
Hardcover of the novel Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders (nationally bestselling author). The cover has blocky yellow text over a purple background with a design that looks like cracks in stone. Daisy flowers are scattered about. A tagline at the bottom reads: "Witchcraft is hard. Families are harder...." The title page of Lessons in Magic and Disaster by Charlie Jane Anders, with red markered doodles and handwriting by the author. The drawing is of a cat in a lab coat nudging a beaker on a table. It's labeled "cat physicist" and the cat is saying "Let's see what happens if I knock this off the table. Must replicate this experiment." There's also a message: "Lisa - Magic is everywhere!!!" over Charlie Jane's signature.

I'm crouching behind a sandwich chalkboard on the sidewalk in front of Green Apple Books on the Park. It was the week Oliver Sacks died (August 15, 2015). The staff had written one of his famous quotes on the board with an illustration of his likeness as he was later in life: "Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure." - OLIVER SACKS
